Now let's focus a bit on "navigation", that's effectively only the jumping within and among the pages. By that you can make your web site very "inviting" to visitors.
Most pages will cover more than one screen. So the visitors will have to scroll if they want to read on, once they are arrived at the bottom of the screen.
One philosophy of web site design (of which I am a follower, too!) is that you should avoid letting the visitors run into a situation to decide whether to scroll on or to back out from a web site. So, the philosophy concludes, you should eliminate scrolling altogether. Break down your content into morsels small enough to be presented in one screen only. Tie them together in another screen comprising headlines only. Link each headline and the corresponding detail page by an internal link ("bookmark"). Similarly, provide another internal link from each detail page back to the list of headlines.
Thus a visitor virtually never has to scroll - an obstacle that all too often is but a jumping-off point of a visitor to leave a web site.
